Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ruby1.8

The current stable release of the Ruby interpreter (1.8.7 in Ibix)
breaks any software using short-named constants. The latest stable
version from ruby-lang.org has this issue as well, but it has been fixed
in the latest stable snapshot.

To summarize, this version is bad: ftp://ftp.ruby-
lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.7-p72.tar.gz

This version is corrected: ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/stable-
snapshot.tar.gz

When the bug triggers, it looks something like:
[-] Exploit failed: uninitialized constant Msf::ModuleSet::NDR

Since we recommend Ubuntu as a stable platform for the Metasploit
Framework, we would really like to see 8.10 ship with a working version
of the Ruby interpreter.
